Forums - Gaming - Is the Xbox One looks growing on you

I wonder if he ever tried the original xbox controller...  It was just too much and filled with too many buttons (black, white, all these little buttons that would confuse the fuck out of me).  Some reason I didn't mind the Dreamcast controller which was about the same size as the original xbox controller.  The form factor and button placement on Dreamcast controller was far superior than the original xbox controller though.

 

I loved that big boy... I hated MS when I found out they were being discontinued!

Its more mature, and blends in with your entertainment setup. Very sleek too.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

My what big hands you have!  At least it wasn't something like this...

I suppose Atari could have integrated calling Pizza Hut through the Jaguar!

As my best friend always says :

If it looks like a turd.
If it smells like a turd.
If it floats like a turd.

Then its probably a turd !!!!



No it still looks like one ugly mother******.

But as I have said since I don't even know how long, it doesn't matter if a console looks like dog turd, as long as it plays amazing games and has great services, I'll happily buy and play it no probs.

That said, the controller on the Xbone looks so darn smexy.

I always liked it...

Looks well made with decent quality materials (same reason I much prefer the original PS3 to the latter atrocities) and will fit in nice with other AV equipment.

Its also nowhere near as big as people make out, its footprint is smaller than the original PS3


I refuse to comment on size until I see a comparison with other consoles, side by side.

The comparison with original PS3 is off though, because the PS3 powerbrick was internal, thus making it bigger by default. The Xbox One power brick is external, meaning it actually takes up more room than what they want you to think... And the Xbox One powerbrick isnt exactly small. A better comparison would be to a console that also had an external powerbrick, the original 360.

On the topic of if I like the design? Meh. Im indifferent. From some angles it looks pretty nice and from others it looks awful.

Also not a fan of all the vents on the top, which is one of the gripes I have with the 360s.



                            

look like my topfield.

I've seen a comparison side by side, someone recreated it by using the size of the usb slots and extrapolating.

Powerbricks are of no concern to me, I plug it in behind the AV furniture and never see it again... ever.

Nice comparison. The One seems to be right in the middle of the original PS3 and the original 360 on size.

I wonder if the PS4 will have an internal powerbrick or external.
